Chapter 403: Chapter 402 The Disappearing Origin
From the moment Yang Jian used the Teleportation of the Ghost Domain, to the terrifying scene where this female passenger named Su Qing was covered with eerie palms, these inconceivable events challenged the nerves of everyone on the plane and overturned their long-held beliefs, while a fear that seemed to originate from the depths of their hearts engulfed them completely.
It was as if humanity had once again remembered the fear of being dominated by sinister ghosts in their childhood.
Some trembled, some held each other for comfort, others wept quietly, and there were those who stood frozen in shock, of course, there were also a few brave souls who widened their eyes, wanting to witness this event.
The realistic yet mysterious and bizarre scene was worth witnessing for some, even at the risk of danger.
But for the air marshal Wang Dong, it wasn’t the case.
After a brief moment of fear and panic, he had now snapped back to reality and called out with a quivering voice, “Yang, Yang Jian, quickly save her, don’t wait any longer, we can talk about everything else after the rescue.”
When Yang Jian heard this voice, he suddenly turned back to glance at Wang Dong.
According to his plan, he was ready to act only after the woman was dead, because he didn’t want to save someone he had no interest in saving, especially one who had cursed him. He would be glad to see such a person killed by a ghost, and wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of compassion.
Yet Wang Dong’s words reminded him slightly.
That’s right.
This wasn’t just a simple special event; so many witnesses, plus satellite positioning and cell phones recording, if a scene of him watching someone die without helping got out, it would indeed have a bad impact on him.
After all, there was an issue with his own body now, and he would need to utilize the resources of the headquarters for this trip to J city.
Looking at Su Qing, whose neck was nearly twisted off, Yang Jian’s gaze shifted as he contemplated whether to pull her up for the sake of his own image?
“The position of the ghost had already been confirmed, the supernatural event will be resolved soon, so he shouldn’t be blamed for this person’s death, after all, some flies always like to nitpick.”
“Forget it, this person is lucky today, I would like to know if you would dare to curse people carelessly after this incident,” Yang Jian’s gaze sharpened as he made the decision in his mind.
Although he found this woman very unpleasant, given the situation’s influence, it was still better to save her.
Having made the decision, he suddenly stretched out a palm and grabbed her neck.
Su Qing, whose neck was almost twisted off, felt a strange force being suppressed, and her head, which was already turned at a ninety-degree angle, stopped moving like the gears on a watch losing power and ceasing to rotate. However, the intense pain in her neck bones still stimulated her nerves, telling her she was nearly dead.
In the next moment, the Ghost Shadow invaded Su Qing’s body through Yang Jian’s feet.
An ice-cold breath instantly took over her body.
Just as Su Qing felt a slight relief in her nearly broken neck, her body seemed to be controlled by some weird and terrifying thing, like a marionette with her own consciousness, but her body moved uncontrollably.
In this situation, she was unable to stop it and could only watch in fear and panic as everything unfolded.
Whether to live or die seemed to be out of her control.
“Are there no other hands inside the body?” Yang Jian did not find any additional hands inside Su Qing’s body.
Immediately, he turned his attention to the hands outside Su Qing’s body.
On her face, her neck, her back…
The Ghost Shadow’s power was particularly adept at controlling these corpse-like palms; having lost their eeriness once invaded by the power of the Ghost Shadow, they were now under Yang Jian’s manipulation.
This meant that the Terror Level of this ghost was very low and could be completely suppressed by the Headless Ghost Shadow.
Yang Jian reached out and removed the palm from Su Qing’s face, and also took off the other hands from her body.
Together with the one before, there were four in total.
Just two pairs.
But Yang Jian still hadn’t found the real ghost, which caused his expression to slightly darken, “Did it slip away? Or did the real ghost not take part in this attack?”
Unable to obtain more information, Yang Jian understood that this operation had failed.
All he had obtained were four hands and had not solved the source of the problem.
“It doesn’t matter, if not this time, then next time. I have the upper hand now,” Yang Jian assured himself after determining the Headless Ghost Shadow’s Terror Level was beneath that of this ghost, allowing him to temporarily put his mind at ease.
He threw the woman in his arms onto the seat without bothering about her condition and chose to turn around and leave.
“Th-thank you,” Su Qing said, still unsettled. She had wandered in and out of the Ghost Gate several times and, despite still being frightened, she hastily expressed her gratitude to Yang Jian.
If it weren’t for Yang Jian, her death would have been certain.
Yang Jian turned around and said, “What, you’re not calling me a pervert now?”Upd@te by novg0 .co
“I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional, I misunderstood you…” Su Qing apologized tearfully and non-stop,
“Just this once, remember, if you get targeted again, solve it yourself. Now go sit quietly in a corner. I don’t want to focus on such a trivial matter. If you want to sleep, find someplace where there’s nobody around and sleep to your heart’s content. No one will bother you, except for the ghosts,” Yang Jian said coldly.
Su Qing, scolded, didn’t dare to raise her head; she trembled all over, moving weakly to get closer to the other passengers.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, scared out of her wits, none of the nearby passengers helped her; in fact, they instinctively moved farther away from her.
After all, a ghost had just appeared on her.
Who knew if there might still be something strange and terrifying lingering on her.
Yang Jian picked up the several hands from the ground and then walked back.
“How did it go, did you solve it?” Wang Dong came over and asked.
“No, the source is still out there. It’ll require another opportunity to act before it can be completely dealt with. Let’s go check the bodies of those two dead victims now. I suspect their hands are missing.” Yang Jian shook the hands he was holding and said, “See, don’t they look familiar?”
Although these hands were pale, stiff, and bloodless, they were especially familiar to Wang Dong, who had just been in contact with the corpses.
They were indeed the hands of the two victims.
But that needed to be confirmed.
“Considering the impact, I put the bodies there in that rest room,” Wang Dong pointed out.
Yang Jian nodded, “You stay here and have the other passengers watch each other. If there’s a problem, call out immediately.”
“Okay, I know what to do,” Wang Dong nodded and said very seriously.
He was still on edge. Although he appeared calm, his anxiety was no less than anyone else’s; it was just that his duty demanded he face the situation.
In the rest room, the two bodies were lying on the ground with their faces covered by blankets.
Yang Jian checked the palms of these two people but eerily found that their palms were intact, not having left the bodies at all.
“Identical palms? No, not quite the same. Although they look alike, the palms in my hand already have livor mortis and bruises, even more bizarre… So, does that mean the ghost can steal the palms of those it kills?”
After thinking for a moment, he was unable to make sense of the situation.
He had encountered many ghosts before and found nothing strange about a ghost having bizarre abilities.
“It’s useless to analyze the abilities of a ghost, finding and dealing with the source is what’s correct.” Yang Jian gave up chasing this clue, preparing to wait for the next opportunity to act.
